07/21/2007 - (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Mexican veteran Rodrigo Lopez goes for a third straight strong start today when the Colorado Rockies visit RFK Stadium in the third of a four-game series with the Washington Nationals.
Lopez, who'll be 32 in December, defeated Philadelphia with five innings of three-run ball on July 7, then got a tough-luck no-decision against Milwaukee seven days later after allowing just one hit and one run in seven innings.
The Brewers won the game, 2-1.
A 15-game winner for Baltimore in 2005, Lopez is winless away from home this year with the Rockies, going 0-2 in five starts away from Coors Field.
He's 1-1 in two career starts against the Nationals with a 5.11 earned run average.
Mike Bacsik makes his 12th start of the season for Washington and faces the Rockies for the first time.
The 29-year-old Texan has gone winless in two outings since a 3-2 defeat of Pittsburgh on July 1. He got a no-decision in Washington's 4-3 defeat of Houston on July 16 and dropped a 6-2 decision to Milwaukee on July 6.
He's 0-3 at RFK Stadium this year, posting a 5.06 ERA in six starts.
On Friday, Aaron Cook tossed seven scoreless innings, and Todd Helton drove in two runs as the Rockies beat the Nationals, 3-1.
Cook (6-6) had a strong outing, yielding just four hits, walking three and fanning eight to earn his first win in three starts.
Willy Taveras had two hits and scored a pair of runs for Colorado, which dropped the opener in the series but has won four of its last five games overall. Ryan Spilborghs also added a pair of hits.
Billy Traber (2-1) allowed two runs -- one earned -- on three hits over four innings in his first start of the season in a replacement role for the Nationals.
The left-hander, a former first-round pick of the New York Mets, had made 23 appearances in relief this season, but was filling in for journeyman starter Jason Simontacchi, who was placed on the disabled list before the game with right elbow tendinitis.
Ryan Zimmerman knocked in the lone run for Washington, which had a modest two- game winning streak halted.
Colorado won all eight meetings between the teams during the 2006 campaign. The Rockies also won four encounters at RFK Stadium over that span.

With the field of 64/65 set, MySportsbook.com has the Florida Gators as the 4-1 favorite to successfully defend their National Championship. Men’s Division-1 College Basketball has not seen a team repeat as National Champions since Duke won back to back championships in ’91 & ‘92. After losing three out of four late in the season, the Gators are full of momentum as they won their last four games by an average of 18 points. Not surprisingly, right behind the Gators are the other three top seeds: Kansas 5-1, UNC 6-1, and Ohio State 7-1. Many consider Kansas to be the hottest team in the country, having won 11 straight. With Kansas, it is hard to ignore all of the early exits from the “dance” in recent years. With an impressive ACC Tournament, UNC ensured themselves the other top seed. UNC has about as much talent as any other team in the tournament but with a team that’s best players are primarily freshman and sophomores, could youth be a concern. Behind freshman sensation, Greg Oden, OSU will look to do what their football team failed to do just a few months earlier. OSU seems to have peeked at the right time, as they currently have a 17 game winning streak. Since the tournament field was expanded in 1985, there has never been an instance where all four #1 seeds advanced to the Final Four. It is obvious that each of the top seeds have the talent to make it through to Atlanta. But as everyone knows, when makes the NCAA Tournament so special are all of the spoilers and “Cinderella” stories that knock off the favorites on a daily basis.
